Chapter 35: The Wang family is left with nothing left to lose after the King of Tianliang is defeated!
Si Yuan raised his hand and pinched Wang Zhenbao's chubby cheek, and explained to her with a smile on his face: "In fact, it is not impossible to open a branch store under the premise of ensuring the taste and reputation. It's just that your mother and I will spend more energy on opening the branch store and won't have time to accompany you to grow up. Mom and Dad's little Zhenbao is so clingy, so of course mom and dad will spend more time with you!"
Wang Zhenbao was stunned. She didn’t expect that it was because of her that her parents gave up opening branches and turned Jueweixuan into a chain brand.
For a moment, she felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to express her feelings. She was happy about her status in her parents' hearts, but also felt guilty about being clingy and ignorant. Wasn't it bad that her clinginess affected her parents' careers and changed their future lives?
Si Yuan saw through Wang Zhenbao's thoughts at a glance, because her thoughts were clearly written on her face. People who have been reborn once still have their thoughts written on their faces, which shows that before her rebirth, she was pampered by the original owner and Li Guihua, without any scheming at all.
Si Yuan does not agree with this way of raising children. Parents can certainly protect their children from wind and rain, but children cannot always hide under the protection of their parents and never go out to experience the baptism of wind and rain.
So Si Yuan directly exposed Wang Zhenbao and asked straight to the point, "Zhenbao, are you hiding something from dad?"
Wang Zhenbao immediately showed a guilty expression: "No, no, I didn't think of anything."
Si Yuan patted her head helplessly and said, "Zhenbao, do you know that your thoughts are revealed on your face? Your face is full of guilt right now, telling me directly that you have kept many things from Dad but did not tell Dad, so you feel guilty when facing Dad's question just now. Just now, your face also had the words "I am so happy and so guilty, what should I do" written on it, and Dad can't pretend not to see it."
Wang Zhenbao was horrified and ran to get a mirror to point at her face. However, she looked left and right and up and down and couldn't see any "writing" on her face. Why couldn't she see it on her face?
Si Yuan walked up to her, watched her look in the mirror, and said slowly, "Now your face says 'Strange, why can't I see what's written on my face'."
Wang Zhenbao looked at her own expression in the mirror and had a vague understanding. She seemed to see a puzzled expression on her face, but she couldn't read out the confusion on her face as specifically as her father could.
She looked at Si Yuan in shock and admiration. Her father was so awesome. She also wanted to be someone who could read other people’s expressions.
Si Yuan smiled and said, "Your face now says 'Dad is so awesome, I really want to learn this'."
Wang Zhenbao was shocked: "Dad, you can read minds, right?"
Because that's what she really thought just now, so she deeply suspected that her father was not able to read her expression, or that her expression was too simple and easy to understand, but that her father could read her mind.
Si Yuan patted her little head and said, "Dad can't read minds."
In fact, it’s not that he can’t read her mind. After all, Wang Zhenbao is just a mortal. Si Yuan’s soul is powerful. If he forcibly uses his spiritual sense to probe into her mind, he can read what she is thinking. But if he is not careful, Wang Zhenbao might be hurt by his spiritual consciousness, which could cause dementia or death, so Si Yuan never uses his spiritual consciousness to forcibly read minds.
Moreover, in this kind of spiritless world where cultivation is not allowed, forcibly using spiritual power will consume a lot of energy. Si Yuan is willing to travel through these small worlds to complete tasks in order to improve his spiritual realm, not to consume spiritual power. Naturally, he will not do such a thankless task.
As for mind reading? It's not necessary. Si Yuan studied micro-expressions and psychology before traveling to the Tiancang Realm. He can easily understand the expressions and thoughts of those who have not received special expression management training.
A naive person like Wang Zhenbao, whose thoughts are written all over his face, is like an open book to Si Yuan, and he doesn't need to turn the pages himself.
Si Yuan looked at Wang Zhenbao and asked, "Do you want to learn?"
Wang Zhenbao nodded excitedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "I want to learn! Dad, I want to learn your mind reading skills too!"
Si Yuan emphasized: "I've already said that it's not mind reading. It's just that Dad often interacts with all kinds of people and has learned to read people's expressions."
Wang Zhenbao smiled at him foolishly. She knew of course that Si Yuan’s ability to observe was not mind-reading, but to her, this observation ability was no different from mind-reading.
Si Yuan took Wang Zhenbao out of the house. At the intersection of the street in front of his house, he found a suitable spot to observe the people coming and going at the intersection. He stood there holding Wang Zhenbao and said to her, "Observe the expressions of those people here and see what you can observe."
Wang Zhenbao looked at the passers-by with a confused look on his face. He looked at their facial expressions and didn't know what he could observe. He hesitated for a while before selecting a few very obvious representatives and talking about them: "The two older sisters were chatting, and they were chatting happily; the uncle who was on the phone seemed very angry, with his brows furrowed; the older brother in the white shirt seemed to be late for work, and his face looked a little anxious..."
The examples Wang Zhenbao gave are indeed very obvious. It is easy to tell whether they are happy, angry or anxious, because their expressions are not concealed at all and their actions also reveal their true emotions.
Si Yuan did not say whether he was satisfied or not, but continued to ask: "What else?"
Wang Zhenbao was confused: "What else?"
Si Yuan said calmly: "Although the two older sisters who were chatting were very happy, they were actually arguing about whose idol was prettier; the uncle who was on the phone looked very angry, but he was actually more worried. He should be calling his family, and he was worried about the health and safety of his family; the older brother in the white shirt was anxious, but he was not anxious because he was late for work, but because he lost his phone..."
After hearing this, Wang Zhenbao felt that her eyes and her father's eyes were not the same. Why could her father see so many things, but she could only see the superficial emotions of the passers-by?
Si Yuan asked again: "Besides those few who had obvious expressions, can you tell what others have?"
Wang Zhenbao shook her head honestly: "There seemed to be no expression on their faces, I couldn't tell." She felt that she couldn't hide it from her father, so she simply stopped lying.
Si Yuan was not disappointed. He held her patiently and analyzed the passers-by one by one in her ear: "The uncle in the black coat walked briskly and leisurely. He was obviously in a good mood, and he was not in a hurry to go to the place he was going. The aunt in the red knitted skirt looked expressionless and did not walk very fast, but she raised her hand from time to time to check the time on her wrist watch, which showed that she was in a hurry..."
Si Yuan analyzed it one by one for her, and Wang Zhenbao felt her eyes were opened. So this is how it is.
She carefully observed the movements and postures of the pedestrians according to Si Yuan's instructions, and it was exactly as Si Yuan said.
Si Yuan patiently taught her: "If you want to understand a person, you can not only look at the expression on his face, but also look at his body language. Body language can often show a person's thoughts..."
Wang Zhenbao listened to the class carefully, as this was a social studies class her father taught her.
She thought, if she had learned this lesson earlier, she would not have been deceived by Ling Feng.
As for why his father, who took this course in the previous life, was also deceived by Ling Feng, Wang Zhenbao automatically made excuses for his father: It must be because his father had little contact with Ling Feng. This way of observation can only read the surface of a person in a short period of contact. It is impossible to understand the insidiousness and meanness hidden deep in Ling Feng's heart in such a short time.
Only she, the fiancée who often gets along with Ling Feng, is the one who should understand the cunning, sinister and vicious true face hidden beneath Ling Feng's disguised gentlemanly image.
Si Yuan looked at Wang Zhenbao's slightly absent-minded expression and knew what she was thinking about. He pretended not to know and did not expose her directly.
After all, he is not the original owner. Facing the reborn Wang Zhenbao, if he says too much, it may inevitably arouse Wang Zhenbao's suspicion.
Although Si Yuan felt that with Wang Zhenbao's intelligence, he would not suspect that his father had been replaced.
Furthermore, there is the system's deceptive power that works unconsciously, such as quietly replacing everyone's memory of the original owner.
As time goes by, Si Yuan's powerful soul will transform the original owner's body to be more and more similar to his original appearance. If time is long enough, it will even transform the original owner's body to be consistent with his appearance.
This kind of transformation, which can be described as cosmetic surgery, will of course arouse suspicion among those who know the original owner.
In order to solve this problem, the system has a special function that can deceive everyone's cognition. This method of subtly deleting and modifying memory is indeed frightening.
However, Si Yuan never showed any fear towards the system, as if he believed that the system was just as naive and easy to fool as it appeared.
With the help of the system's deceiving power, even if Si Yuan sometimes fails to maintain the original owner's personality and reveals flaws, the people around the original owner will subconsciously ignore the unreasonable behavior of Si Yuan.
After all, even a change in appearance that is comparable to plastic surgery can be ignored by people around you, so what's the big deal about a change in personality?
Si Yuan stood at the street corner holding Wang Zhenbao for the whole morning and taught her for the whole morning.
Wang Zhenbao felt that she had gained a lot. At least, she could understand the body language of pedestrians and infer their mood through body language, just like Si Yuan said at the beginning.
This is a huge improvement for her.
Wang Zhenbao continued to observe the passers-by under Si Yuan's guidance with great interest until Li Guihua called and urged them to go home. Only then did Si Yuan carry Wang Zhenbao home.
Li Guihua went to Jueweixuan in the morning, so when she came back at noon, she packed up the food directly from Jueweixuan. Of course, the food made in their own restaurant can be eaten with confidence. Si Yuan and Li Guihua are not black-hearted businessmen. Jueweixuan also follows the path of a high-end restaurant. Excellent taste and fresh ingredients are the most basic things, and there is absolutely no situation of selling inferior products as good ones.
Because Si Yuan and Li Guihua both understood that if customers discovered that they were selling inferior products as good ones once, Jueweixuan's reputation would plummet, and it would be very difficult to recover. Therefore, the two of them strictly control the ingredients of the restaurant and attach great importance to the hygiene of the kitchen. The dishes at Jueweixuan are cleaner and healthier than the meals many people cook at home.
Li Guihua knew that the father and daughter at home must not have had lunch, so when she returned home at noon, she packed some lunch for them to take home.
The proprietress Li Guihua never hides from others the fact that she packs food from Jueweixuan and takes it home for her husband and daughter. Many old customers know about this and often encounter Si Yuan and Li Guihua and Wang Zhenbao's family of three eating at Jueweixuan.
Therefore, old customers are very assured about the food safety of Jueweixuan. After all, even the boss and his family can eat meals in their own restaurant every day, so what else are they afraid of eating? Moreover, the food in Jueweixuan is really delicious, but the price is a bit expensive and they can't eat it every meal. Their wallets can't afford it if they eat it every meal.
However, as a large coastal city, S City has a very developed economy, a high level of consumption among the people, and a large number of wealthy people, so there are quite a few wealthy people who eat at Jueweixuan every meal.
In the past few years, Jueweixuan's revenue has been really considerable.
Wang Zhenbao thought that since his Jueweixuan didn’t have any branches, the profit from just one store might not be much.
In fact, the restaurant opened by the Wang family in her previous life was not a high-end restaurant like Jueweixuan, but a mid-to-high-end route. In the shortest time and at the fastest speed, branches were opened everywhere, which inevitably sacrificed taste, reputation and service. Naturally, there was no way to maintain the highest level and could only be positioned in the mid-to-high-end.
But now Si Yuan wants to make money and have an easy life, so taking the high-end route is the best choice.
Jueweixuan's monthly turnover is very impressive, not much different from the turnover of the original owner who opened multiple branches in the original plot.
Si Yuan has so much cash in his hands, so of course he can't just keep it and wait for it to depreciate.
After Si Yuan had kept enough funds for Jueweixuan to grow and develop, he divided the remaining funds into two parts, half for investment and half for buying a house.
He used the investment money to invest in several potential companies that would soar in the future based on his understanding of future development. He then waited for these companies to become successful so that he could hold the original shares and become one of the major shareholders.
He doesn't have to interfere in the management of any company. Apart from investing some money in those companies that are short of money in the early stages, the management work is still left to the founders.
Investors like him who are only responsible for providing money and never make any decisions are considered true angel investors by the founders of those companies.
With the money used to buy houses, Si Yuan bought houses or land in areas that would be developed into luxurious locations in the future. He bought as much as he could with the money he had. For example, the land for the future headquarters building of Ling's Group was bought in advance by Si Yuan. If Ling's Group still wants to build a company headquarters building at this location, it will have to accept Si Yuan's high demand.
The company of the former male protagonist of Outlaws would be a waste if they weren't ripped off.
Si Yuan would always discuss with Li Guihua the destination of the investment money. He would make a detailed investment plan for Li Guihua to see. As long as he had sufficient reasons for the investment, Li Guihua would never stop him from investing.
Li Guihua was still very open-minded in this regard. As long as enough funds were left for the development of Jueweixuan, it would not matter even if all the other funds were lost. As long as Jueweixuan was the golden goose, their family would not return to the time before liberation.
These few years have been enough to prove how strong Si Yuan's investment ability is. Every company he invested in is thriving, and the land and properties he bought are increasing in price every year.
However, Li Guihua did not care much about the assets invested by Si Yuan. She just asked Si Yuan, and after confirming that there was no loss, she concentrated on running Jueweixuan. At other times, she focused her attention on her daughter Wang Zhenbao.
Because Si Yuan wanted to train Wang Zhenbao and help him grow.
After all, Wang Zhenbao is a reborn person. Rebirth has its pros and cons. The advantage is that he has had the thinking of an adult since childhood, which is a great advantage compared to a real child. But the downside is that she has had memories of her past lives and the adult thinking of her past lives since she was a child. The thinking of adults is difficult to change, it has been stereotyped, and is much less plastic than that of children.
Si Yuan wants to change the thinking of Wang Zhenbao, who has developed a naive character, into the character of a black sesame dumpling, which is much more difficult than teaching a blank slate to become a black sesame dumpling.
Si Yuan never knew how to write the phrase 'retreat when faced with difficulties'. He would only 'face challenges head-on'. No matter how difficult the transformation was, he would still give it a try.
So Si Yuan agreed with Li Guihua to keep it a secret from Wang Zhenbao for the time being and not let her know that her family was already very wealthy. She would let Wang Zhenbao think that her family only opened a restaurant and that the income was not that high. This way, she would not treat Wang Zhenbao unfairly materially, nor would she still think that she was the eldest daughter of the Wang Group in her previous life.
Wang Zhenbao still believed that her family had only opened one restaurant, Jueweixuan, and did not continue to open branches everywhere, nor did they establish a catering empire belonging to the Wang family. There was no sign of the future S City catering leader, Wang Group, all because of her flapping butterfly wings.
So under Si Yuan's intentional guidance, Wang Zhenbao decided to study hard and then work hard to establish the Wang Group.
Since it was because of her that mom and dad failed to successfully establish the Wang Group, then let her establish the Wang Group for mom and dad in this life.
In her previous life, her parents established the Wang Group, making her a second-generation rich and the eldest daughter of the Wang Group. In this life, it is her turn to establish the Wang Group. She wants to become a first-generation rich and make her parents the emperor and empress of the Wang Group.
Ambitious Wang Zhenbao jumped onto the sofa, put one foot on the back of the sofa, put one hand on his waist and the other pointing at the ceiling, and said loudly and proudly: "I want to establish the Wang Group and let my parents be the emperors!"
Si Yuan, who had just put the food they had packed from Jueweixuan with Li Guihua on the table and came out of the restaurant to call Wang Zhenbao to eat, couldn't help laughing when he heard Wang Zhenbao's bold words and said, "If you have ambition, then mom and dad will rely on our Zhenbao in the future."
Wang Zhenbao, who suddenly had a second-year syndrome attack, did not expect that her father, who was busy in the restaurant, would suddenly appear. She remembered her second-year syndrome words and actions just now, and she withdrew her hands and feet in embarrassment, sitting upright on the sofa, and could not help digging the ground with her toes stuffed in slippers.
I was caught by my dad. It was so embarrassing. I could have dug a villa out of my toes.
Si Yuan also knew that Wang Zhenbao was embarrassed and shy, so he didn't cancel her anything. However, Li Guihua also heard Wang Zhenbao's loud shout in the restaurant, but she didn't hear clearly what she shouted. So Li Guihua walked out and asked, "What happened? I think I heard Zhenbao shouting just now?"
Wang Zhenbao dug the ground with the toes of both feet.
Si Yuan kindly helped her conceal the truth: "Zhenbao just said happily that she will be filial to us in the future." After all, she was planning to start her own business and become the empress, and then let him and Li Guihua become the emperor and empress emeritus. Isn't this a filial daughter?
Wang Zhenbao immediately felt relieved and was glad that his father did not sabotage him.
After listening to Si Yuan's words, Li Guihua said happily: "Zhenbao, if you eat well and don't be picky about food and grow up healthily, that will be the greatest filial piety to your parents."
Wang Zhenbao's face suddenly changed: "Are there any carrots today?" She hated eating carrots the most, but her mother Li Guihua believed that carrots were good for eyesight and insisted that she eat carrots. The mother and daughter had fought wits and courage over carrots over the years. Now she couldn't even accept that the carrots were squeezed into juice and hidden in other dishes so that she couldn't taste the carrot flavor.
So when Wang Zhenbao heard Li Guihua say that eating well and not being picky about food was the greatest filial piety, he guessed that there must be carrots in today's dishes.
Wang Zhenbao sat at the dining table with a stiff face, looking at the carrots in front of her. She suddenly felt that she didn't have to be so filial. It should be okay to be a little less filial and a little picky about food.
Si Yuan looked at Wang Zhenbao helplessly. When it came to getting Wang Zhenbao to eat carrots, Li Guihua would never give in. The mother and daughter had been fighting wits and courage over this for several years, and Si Yuan had also been persuading her for several years. If his persuasion had been effective, there wouldn't be carrots placed in front of Wang Zhenbao today.
At lunch today, Li Guihua and Wang Zhenbao once again started a battle of wits and courage for carrots. Si Yuan watched from the other side and ate calmly.
After lunch, half of the plate of carrots went into Wang Zhenbao's stomach and the other half went into Li Guihua's stomach, and the mother and daughter were tied again.
Si Yuan enjoyed watching the play so much that he ate an extra bowl of rice.
But after lunch is over and the battle of wits between mother and daughter is over, they should focus their fire on him who is just watching the fire from the other side.
So when Si Yuan saw Wang Zhenbao finished her meal, he immediately picked her up and said, "Guihua, I'm teaching Zhenbao something today. Now that she has finished her meal, it's time for her to continue studying with me. I'll take Zhenbao away."
Without waiting for Li Guihua to speak, Si Yuan took Wang Zhenbao into the cloakroom next to her room.
Today, the Wang family lives in a large flat of more than 200 square meters. Even at a young age, Wang Zhenbao has his own dressing room with a large floor-to-ceiling mirror.
Si Yuan put Wang Zhenbao in front of the dressing mirror and asked her to face the mirror: "Practice how to control your expression."
